The Reality of Daily Use

Based on user feedback, there is a certain level of frustration that cannot be overlooked. Many reviews point to unwanted ads interrupting the experience and many have said the app feels slow or buggy constantly. If you’re trying to scroll and it’s not loading, this happens multiple times during a session. Feedback from the community suggests that after the ownership changes, the connection and quality are on the decline. Also, some ‘long-timers’ feel that it has lost its spirit.

You need internet for this app, it does not allow off-lining by browsing saved images or cached content. There are controls for mature content but they’re not granular enough for users. The freemium model means that ads will appear regularly throughout the experience. In-app purchases are available, but they won’t alleviate all interruptions.

Who Should Download This

If you are a casual user looking for a fast, hassle-free image host and enjoy meme culture, this app is perfect. If you regularly post photos on sites such as Facebook and can easily ignore the ads, you should still find the essential features of the app useful. You are able to upload a lot and the community is still active despite concerns. Plus it is basically free to enter.

But the technical complaints are real. If app stability really matters to you and you want an ad-light interface, then there are better platforms for you. The worth of Imgur stems from your willingness to overlook its imperfections in exchange for free hosting and access to a large collection of viral content. It may have imperfections but it still works fine for fast uploads and checking out popular memes.
